Jerry Jones Quotes

You look at the best players in the league, the best players at quarterback - I mean Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, the top names - none of those guys are throwing it through a brick wall. They'll have touch.

I'm not gonna throw a Ryan Leaf bullet, but I've got a good enough arm, where I think it'll turn some heads and keep them interested.

Michael Vick can pass.

Aaron Rodgers, he throws that back-shoulder throw so well.

You have to be able to hit the deep balls.

My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.

Arm strength, I think, is a thing that's, like, incredibly overrated in the NFL.

I like to think I'm pretty close in comparison to Aaron Rodgers. He's very athletic and gets the ball out quickly. He's very knowledgeable of the game, controls the offense totally, and that's something I try to do. Just know the offense inside and out.

I was a quarterback in pee-wee football. I always wanted to be quarterback. They're the leaders, they make the calls. It didn't work out because I didn't have the arm. I also played wide receiver my senior year in high school.

Touch is more important than arm strength. You want to really allow the receiver to run underneath the throw. It'll give you a little margin for error if you undershoot it a bit.

When you're throwing the football the way you want to, you're not thinking about it. You're not thinking about your drop or your release point or the trajectory or where your feet are. It's just coming off your hand exactly the way you want it to, fluid and confident.

The NFL is changing a little bit. The prototypical quarterback seems to be a little bit more mobile now. At the same time, if you can't throw the ball with the best of them, then you won't get an opportunity.

Carson Wentz, when you watch him on tape, No. 1, I just like a big guy that has athleticism.

People look at my legs and they see I can make big plays, but they don't really see my arm, and I make big plays with my arm.

I think I've thrown enough balls and put it on tape where I don't think arm strength is an issue. I wouldn't be a starting quarterback if my arm strength was such an issue. People are making it seem like I can't throw the ball 30 yards. People are getting out of hand with it.

Donovan McNabb has great, fast feet and has learned to lock them in to run the Eagles' offense effectively.

I've said for many, many years, as long as I can ever remember, when I'm asked, 'Hey, what do you look for first in a quarterback?' The first thing I look for is accuracy, because the rest of it doesn't matter.

I just think that's the key to all of the quarterbacks throughout the league. You want to have a consistent drop, a consistent balance in the pocket so that you can really get everything into the throw, so that you are throwing with good velocity.

Cam Newton, his best throw is better than anybody's best throw. I'm gonna say that right off the bat. But I will take consistency over volatile play any day of the week.

You can always get better throwing the football.

This stereotype as Marcus Mariota as a spread quarterback that just runs read options all the time, that's ridiculous.

I was throwing a spiral football at 6.

I'm good at extending plays and finding throwing lanes.

Aaron Rodgers - I love the way he scrambles and how he plays the game - he always makes great decisions with the ball.

When people talk about me, they talk about just the arm and that I have a big arm. I want to be able to change that mindset to, 'He's a great quarterback who just happens to have a great arm.'
